The SASSA SRD Grant Payments for approved applications will be paid between 27th – 31st January 2025.
Depending on the bank, your grant money may take 2 to 3 business days to reflect in your account after the grant payment has been disbursed this month.
Planning for this SRD Grant can help you better manage your payments and spend them wisely on important things it’s intended for.
During that payment week in January 2025, you’re advised to frequently check your SRD application status to understand when your funds will be processed. By checking your grant status, you’ll get the exact date when payment will be reflected in your account.
You’re welcome to collect and spend the funds however you want, but responsibly as a disclaimer, the reason you qualified for the unemployment social grant, is you needed financial help the most.
The SRD grant is currently set to expire or end in March 2025 and there’s no certainty or guarantee it’ll be extended afterward but the Department of Social Development (DSD) calls for an extension of the SRD grant for another two years.
